Rep. Nancy Pelosi has settled a looming question heading into November's midterm elections: She will run for House speaker if Democrats win a majority this fall.

"We will win. I will run for speaker," she told The Boston Globe. "I feel confident about it and my members do, too."

Though it was long assumed that Pelosi would run for speaker again, the assurance is both a gift and a curse for the party heading into this year's critical midterm elections. It gives more potency to a message Republicans have long employed: Vote for the Democrat, get Pelosi as speaker.

"I think I'm worth the trouble," she said snappily, seemingly referring to her fundraising prowess.

Fundraising prowess?! When I hear her speak lately, she's barely coherent. I really think she has some serious health issues. A lot of these oldies - Feinstein being another example - they just don't want to quit. Must be the perqs....
